ABOUT

Hey All - I am looking for a creative, gender balanced group of people to jam, write, compose, record and perform great original music with. If you play any of the instruments that I listed in my profile, or feel that you have something interesting to bring to the table, please contact me. I like working with several individuals that have experience in writing songs and collaborating. I often find myself not falling into the verse-chorus-verse-chorus kind of box, but am open to a few super catchy verse-chorus type tunes. Basically speaking, if it is expressive and innovative in any way, I can get excited about it. I am a musician that really likes dynamics...super soft at times, intense at times,awkward at times, sweet and dreamy...soulful...I like it all, and I love when a single song goes through several moods or movements. Stylistically speaking...I love to fuse sounds like ambient and gentle acoustic music, dramatic cinematic movements and orchestral instrumentation. I like rock without all the solos and big egos. I like songs that honor space for the listener to hear sounds that don't exist in the composition, but only in their minds when they hear how the notes surround the space. I like songs that make people think, but especially when the song doesn't tell them what to think about..I like direct lyrics occasionally, but I like even more often, lyrics that leave a lot up to interpretation....which just means more possibilities...wider listener radius and demographic. If interested please contact me at 508-330-0566, on at william koroskenyi or right here on bandmix, though I only have a basic account here. Thanks: )

Members Of Band

Right now it is just me. I recently moved to PA from MA, so am looking to start a new project. I have been in an established band for the last 7 yrs. I am very eager to pick up without losing too much creative time. For now, I will be writing solo material until the right musicians are identified. There's only one way to tell if the chemistry is there...we should get together.

EQUIPMENT

Ukulele, Kalimba,Washburn Acoustic Guitar, Specter 5 String Electric Bass, Yamaha Autoharp, Accordion, Melodica, Toy Piano, Alesis Micron, Korg Kaoss Pad, Microphones, Congas, Djembe, Hand Bells, Gongs, Jaw Harp, Shakers, Behringer 12 Channel Mixer, Mac G5/Digital Performer/MOTU Recording Setup, Casio Digital Piano...this list has shrunk a bit in the last year, as I liquidated many items to pay for my move, including a PA system which was left to my previous bandmates in MA. Hopefully you have a PA...or I will have to pick up a universal keyboard amp for practicing/performing with. Either is cool with me.
